[32:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Eyes that see.”

[32:3]  ² tn The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (tÿsho’enah) from שָׁעַע (sha’a’, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.

[32:3]  ³ tn Heb “ears that hear.”

[42:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “he will not cause his voice to be heard in the street.”

[42:20]  ⁷ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has a perfect, 2nd person masculine singular; the marginal reading (Qere) has an infinitive absolute, which functions here as a finite verb.

[42:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “but you do not guard [i.e., retain in your memory]”; NIV “but have paid no attention.”

[42:23]  ¹⁰ tn The interrogative particle is understood in the second line by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
